Unless you have a huge family, crafting a jacket out of empty Capri Sun containers is going to require two sacrifices. Lots of drinking and lots of peeing. In fact, you’ll probably wind up doing both at once if you really want to finish this jacket in record time.
Made using almost solely empty Capri Suns (with the exception of snap closures) the Capri Sun Jacket is the coolest way to show off your obsession for the sugar-packed fruit juices.
Here’s a back-to-school jacket worth getting excited about. The NavJacket from O’Neill is due out this winter and will feature more technology than you can shake a stick at. Designed for people who like to snowboard, ski or just hit the trails, the NavJacket features Gore-Tex material and integrated GPS that allows you to navigate a hillside. The left arm features 5 buttons and a HUD for displaying information and guiding you throughout the cold night.
There’s no set release date or official price for the jacket, but don’t expect O’Neill to let it go for cheap.
Fancy the electronic duo Justice? Why not wear tight black pants along with a leather jacket that just screams, “I swallow!” Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay of Justice have teamed up with French label Surface to Air of Paris to create their own limited edition clothing line, complete with a leather wallet. The line is supposed to reflect their hard “rock and roll” image.
Biker bars or gay bars, no matter where you go everyone will know you listen to music with no lyrics. Who needs lyrics anyways? When you’ve got hot beats and cool sounds, no one is paying any attention to the words.
I don’t know about you but I’m always doing one of three things: smuggling drugs in from Canada, wearing a shirt, or sleeping. It’s a tough life, I know. Luckily, there’s the Xip3, a shirt that turns into a backpack and a pillow when you need it. Equipped with Polartec 200 lining, it’s a pretty ideal shirt for rough conditions in nature. Perfect for that frosty morning hike in the woods of Maine.
You wouldn’t want to wear this warm shirt in the summer but you don’t want to put it away. A little folding action and you have yourself a durable backpack for a picnic. After you consumer copious amounts of wine and bread, pass out on the grass in comfort by turning your backpack into a pillow. You see? It’s like a virtuous cycle of comfort and convenience.
Shown as part of the Tissue Culture and Art Project at the Museum Of Modern Art in New York, this new Victimless Leather shows that animals don’t need to be harvested for textiles, but they are still equally tasty if I might say so myself. Mmm, cheeseburgers.
The project’s goal is to attempt “artistically exploring and provoking notions relating to human conduct with other living systems”, or in other words, exploring ways not to skin animals for our clothing and accessories. Hell, cows would do the same to us if it meant earning some money for some quality and delicious grass. I say skin them and use their bones for clubbing baby seals. — Andrew Dobrow
